Published by LM Projects
A collaboration between Kori Newkirk and LM Projects

–LM Projects is pleased to announce its invitational for 2013; a special edition bookwork by Los Angeles based artist Kori Newkirk. Sometimes Always Perhaps Never, invites viewers to glimpse into Newkirk’s studio practice and process, a space unseen by the public and very private for the artist. Borrowing the visual language of an artist journal, this book collects the materials, found objects, studies, references, experiments and sketchbooks that have collectively contributed to Newkirk’s bodies of work from 1990 to the present. Interwoven throughout are excerpts of informal conversations with Soraya Murray, Jason Meadows, Matthew Schum, Chris Oatey, Lorraine Molina and Daniel Joseph Martinez.
